Yes, Judy, I would like very much to have more details. I've tried Amaryllis belladonna near a wall, with the foliage heavily mulched during the worst of the winter. The plants did not bloom and only diminished over time. I'm currently trying it in my protected cold frame where the foliage goes through the winter unscathed and with plenty of sun. But it has not bloomed yet there either. Judy, do you remember if your plants bloomed for many years in succession? Because the flower buds of these plants are formed a year or so before they actually bloom (I think I've got that right), it's not unusual for newly purchased bulbs to bloom immediately if they are acquired in the summer and then again a year later. But until you mentioned your plants I had never heard of long-term success with this plant on the east coast. And I'm amazed that the foliage survived a Connecticut winter exposed to the air! Foliage exposed to the air was always severely damaged here. When you get a chance, please tell me more. Jim McKenney
